Yes, if you are dealing with big geometry files using gz is really good, but
in my experience bzip2 is really good, I have seen ratios very clos to 1:8
in the size, bgeo is binary so bzip2 works much better on this kind of
files.
I think there is a version of bzip2 for windows.
The only problem I have experienced using compressed files is rendering from
file, but this was on version 8, I don´t know if this have been solved in
version 9.
